I take that game WAY too seriously.
I have a knack for remembering the most useless information. It really hasn't helped me accomplish anything all that exciting in my life, but it can be fun at times.

Do you also figure out movie endings before everyone else does? I can usually figure them out 95% of the time. When I do, I get way too excited about it. I need help.

I'm like that...but it frustrates me, it doesn't excite me. I want to watch a movie that tricks me with intelligence.

Sometimes they go overboard with the tricks though. I hated "The Prestige". My head hurt at the end of that movie.

That's why I said "Intelligent". Some directors just throw in tricks just to throw you off, they don't give ANY clues in the earlier part of the movie. I like movies that either make me laugh, or make me think.

BTW- I leaned over to my wife and said, "he has a twin". She laughed and then said, you know what, I think you're right.

Well great. So much for needing to see that movie now

Oh shit...my bad man. I didn't think about that...I hate it when someone does that too.

Yeah. I hate how so many movies seem to be using main characters that eventually find out they really have split personalities, because tend to be pretty predictable. I guessed the ending to one of those types of movies based solely on the previews a few months ago.
I also get overly annoyed when there is a glitch in a movie, especially if it's one made by a good director. I've been known to point out things like new Coke cans in the background of a scene that supposed to take place in the 80's (Blow), and a guy videotaping aliens even though they supposedly destroyed all electronics (War of the Worlds).

I can be a pain to watch movies with.

My wife and I do that constantly...I don't think you're being a pain. It takes away from the entertainment value for me. How can a multi million dollar operation not get those small details, especially considering the huge amount of people working on a particular film.

I do that with Simpsons episodes. Chief Wiggum's hair is blue in this scene, now it's black. Homer just drank a mug of beer but he just put the mug down and there's beer in the glass again!
